Driveways, Hardscape & Masonry in Burke

Driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls for Burke homes, including Burke Centre and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Working in Burke

Much of Burke was built from the 1970s onward, and the driveways, patios, and walls from that era are now reaching the end of their life. We replace asphalt and concrete driveways, swap aging timber walls for block, build paver patios, and reset walks that have settled. On sloped lots, drainage is planned before the surface is chosen.

Joseph Cash comes out from Vienna for each Burke estimate and stays involved through the job, with our own crew doing the work. If your community needs architectural approval, we supply the drawings and material details for the application. Every job carries our 5-year workmanship warranty, and paver installs carry a 15-year no-settlement warranty.

Building in Burke: what to know

Fairfax County permits

Burke is an unincorporated part of Fairfax County, so permits and zoning go through Fairfax County Land Development Services. The county lists on-grade patios and driveways as not needing a building permit, though size and location can add other approvals. Retaining walls holding more than 3 feet of earth need a county building permit. We confirm before quoting.

Burke Centre Conservancy

Burke Centre is a planned community whose development began in 1976. It is managed by the Burke Centre Conservancy, a homeowners association covering five neighborhoods: the Commons, the Landings, the Oaks, the Ponds, and the Woods. Like most planned communities, it has covenants on exterior changes. Check with the Conservancy before a project, and we will provide what the application asks for.

Airport land turned neighborhood

In the 1950s, federal planners proposed a second Washington airport in Burke and acquired land for it before choosing the Chantilly site that became Dulles. That land later became Burke Lake Park and Burke Centre. Many Burke yards slope toward wooded stream valleys, so we check for protected stream areas before designing.

Burke: common questions

Do I need HOA approval for a patio in Burke Centre?

Most likely, yes. Burke Centre is a planned community managed by the Burke Centre Conservancy, and exterior changes generally need association approval. Check with the Conservancy first. We supply the drawings and material details your application needs.

My timber retaining wall is leaning. What are my options?

Usually a full replacement with segmental block or stone, built with proper drainage behind it. Fairfax County requires a permit for walls holding more than 3 feet of earth. We confirm permit needs and give a written estimate.

Who issues permits in Burke?

Fairfax County. Burke is not incorporated, so Fairfax County Land Development Services handles permits. Many patios and driveways need no building permit, while taller walls and work near streams have extra requirements. We confirm before quoting.

Every job we build is covered for 5 years. If something fails because of how we built it, we come back and make it right.

  • 15-year no-settlement warranty on paver installation
  • Only paver brands with a lifetime manufacturer warranty
  • Backed by a local, family-owned company in business since 2009
